The seers of the Theosophical Society came before the historians.
Reply: A long time ago I spent many months reading some of the thousands of theosophical books, booklets and magazines that one of my grandfathers had accumulated. He had already died.
"US is a whole another beast. It shouldn't be compared with Rome, which at least lived up to its religious tolerance and respected racial characteristics. Britain suits the comparison better. Most of Europe wasn't even "refined", the British were more renowned for repressed cruelty than any other European country."
Some historians have noticed the similarity between the present and the past of 2,000 yrs. ago. They compare the contrast between a refined Europe and an earthier U.S. with that between Greece and Rome.
Reply: Refined cultural manifestations don't contradict the fact that power tends to be exercised brutally. "Might makes right."
"Didn't Constantine feed pagans to lions? If Apollonios' appraisal are anything to go by, it wasn't even Nero who delighted in drawing out suffering."

It Destiny to do as one tries or pleases, but it Fate when it set motion an shouldn’t be a surprise.
What if they are like Time Travellers that looped holed the Grandfather Paradox, and all the Prophecies in the old days might of been caused by basic cable an radio waves probably still travelling some how or some way light years into a distant future but past like Star Wars, an using the a Sun like that one episode in Star Trek? Or Black Holes where a Piano or Kitchen Sink can come out of which is scientific accurate maybe?!?edit on 21-10-2022 by Proto88 because: (no reason give
Physicists like to discuss those paradoxes that time traveling would cause. Please explain the idea about prophecies being made possible by radio waves coming from the future. I'm not sure whether that's what you mean to say.
